Are you new to Christ Church?

At Christ Church we welcome newcomers and if you are interested in joining us here you will find all the useful information

How to find us

Our church is located in central Bedford, in between Castle Road and Goldington Road. The building has easy access and reserved parking for wheelchair users. Most Sundays there is extra parking available to all visitors located in the close by Castle Lower School.

At our 10:00am service each Sunday, everyone gathers together at the beginning of the service. After a short time of worship together, we divide into different teaching and worship groups as children up to school year 8 leave. Our crèche however, is available from the beginning of the service.

At all-age services, everyone stays together for the whole service.

Refreshments (hot and cold) are served after the 10.00am service and 6:30pm service.

We are proud to be a certified Fair Trade Church.

Our weekly news-sheet gives details of all important events happening in the near future and some guidance on topics for prayer.

You can join us for a Wednesday service at:

10:00am Holy Communion, with refreshments served afterwards.
